Companies House (Decision Notice) [2012] UKICO FS50424535 (30 May 2012)
Summary: The complainant has requested all information that concerns a complaint communicated to Companies House - including the name of the informant - that alleged an ongoing dispute at a named company. Companies House refused to disclose the identity of the informant claiming the information constitutes personal data (section 40). It also refused to disclose any documentation that it held concerning the complaint stating the information was provided to it in confidence (section 41). The Commissioner finds that section 41 applies to all of the requested information including the name of the informant. The Commissioner-™s decision is that Companies House correctly withheld the information in accordance with the FOIA. The Commissioner requires no remedial steps to be taken by the public authority.
